Ghouls.

Another case of technical debt resulting in therapy?

$50m to fix? Seems a little ridiculous…

Why is PHP OO a horrible idea?

I added an update to the article. I wasn't aware of the RFC to make annotations a language feature when I wrote the article. The article is specifically referring to annotations im…

At least you would know if your array contains a syntax error. With an annotation, you would have no way of knowing that aside from what the annotation parser spits out.

I am not opposed to change--in fact, I welcome it, especially with regard to PHP. Rather, I'm criticizing the use of annotations based on the argument that it is bad application de…

I don't understand how. It's a static property because it applies to all object of the class, not an individual object (i.e. an individual object shouldn't be able to change it). A…

> I'll take the first one because I have other shit I need to do. Uhh, what's so hard about making an array?

Not necessarily. Several Symfony components rely on doctrine/common simply for parsing annotations, even if you are not using Doctrine for anything else.

Wow, I didn't know about those RFCs to make annotations a part of the language. Thanks for posting.

OK, fair enough. The marketing copy and a description of "features" is still forthcoming (not my strong suit).

The idea is that you have a set of chores that need to be split up evenly. The typical use case is a household. The app will take all of the chores you define for a group and split…

A new app I've been working on for groups to evenly divide chores. Good for households, shared workspaces, teams with regularly-occurring tasks, etc. Check it out and let me know w…

Wow, this is wonderful! There are so few iTunes alternatives for Mac. Are you planning on open sourcing this? I would love to help develop it.

Good idea. I did one of these a while back. https://github.com/theunraveler/SequoiaApp

That all depends on what illusions you have about how the market works. I would claim that a single app developer is still subject market concerns. Oftentimes developers are hired …

That's why unions are for workers, not employers :-)

I really disagree with this. 1. Lost wages are one of the reason unions maintain a "strike fund" or start collection pools. 2. An injury to one is an injury to all. A company pulli…
